I mean unironically, according to the modern video game industry, that's all the game needs to get a "RPG" label slapped on it. I think it's kinda funny.

Touhou Project

The series needs more male characters. The limited female cast was fine for bullet hell and fighting games. But it hurts the immersion of an rpg with stunted world building.

New bioware, old bioware, what’s the difference?

I’m seeing some people apparently excited for the new exodus game that is being made by old bioware employees. But what’s there to get excited about? For one almost all western big budget games are terrible so this will have to be an exception. And second is that there is this meme that bioware was always good and that it was just EA or all the new hires and old staff leaving that made it bad. But that’s wrong. David Gaider was the lead writer on all three dragon age games. One of the best writers who wrote the dwarf sections in origins was in da2 as a writer. Casey Hudson was the creative lead on all three mass effect games. Mike laidlaw was lead in origins through inquisition. Who exactly are these bioware staff members who left? Mass eff t 3 sucked. Da2 and inquisition were bad games. Mass effect still has the writer who wrote Tali. Even some people who left have come back for dragon age veil guard. Besides the doctors, the actual people who made the games seemed to have stayed on for the most part.

This is why I don’t see what’s to get excited about with exodus.the real truth of why bioware was so popular back int rh day is because they had absolutely zero competition. Nobody else was making the kind of games they were. Kotor, dao, me1 and 2. You basically had cs project red and obsidian. And it’s not a coincidence that biowares reputation started to tank after with her 3 came out. It was their first real competition. Yes they put a bunch of work stuff in the games but IMO they do that to try and stand out. They are the company of that caters to that more than any other. But they were never good writers. I recently went back to dao and me1 and the writing is so boring and drags on and on. Either 3 having slightly better writing was all it took to reveal how shallow bioware writing always has been. People get confused with wokeness and believe prior to going full woke they were good but they weren’t.

Dhux Scar -anyone play this older jrpg

I read some people claiming it's the best game in the series but some say the story is mediocre and the humor gets obnoxious. 5 has better gameplay but I read the game is full of moe weaboo pandering so I refuse to play it and any future entry if the writing is similar.
I'm okay with the game being sillier and more focused on humor than the previous ones but If the game is going to be full of fanservice and dumb anime tropes like Hyperdimension Neptunia I don't think I will be able to stomach it

These games are not difficult, the only difficulty comes from them throwing bullshit like reinforcements that catch you by surprise, spawning a gorrillion enemies to overwhelm you or the RNG screwing you with a crit.

Octopath Traveler 2

Just finished all the main routes. I think I'll just do some sidequests and get the secret classes before doing the dawn story.
I'm really enjoying this game, I like how they expanded on the worldbuilding.
Throne's ending was ~~completely fucking bonkers, I loved it.~~

Fairy Tail 2

Are you excited? What did you think of the first Fairy Tail rpg?

Yes Goy, support (((merchants))) for good ending, the "people" are your enemy

Is this truly how real life works? Every time something happens people chimp out and fuck over the ruler while (((merchants))) rush to his aid and throw money at him till he solves issue. Or is it typical subtle (((tribe))) propaganda Owlcat put in there to glaze the jew's ass with their tongues?

The Stolen Lands Encounters Mod was pretty good though. Vordekai, who famously gets cucked in 1 round actually put up a heck of a fight.

>Instantly casts dispell, removes all your buffs.
>Summons 2 Cyclops Lorekeepers (essentially Magus's who come with mirror image, and hit like a truck if they hit anything that is not mage). Then 2 more after you get him down to 50%. And those guys don't die easily either, I had to actually blast them with magick because they were dodging melee like champs. Legit proved to be a tight fight, considering that Vordekai was casting Horrid's and Finger of Death's. Jaethal was last man standing, and he almost had her at that.

All in all, I think this is a pretty good mod so far. Vordekai actually made me try, which is not something base game offered. And it does make sense lorewise as well. He really seemed capable of wrecking havock, possibly even Nyrissa if he was allowed to get some time to get back his power after that long nappy-nap.

YS

I completed Ys 1 and 2, currently halfway through Origin's second route.
I really like the theme, setting and lore. I know the other games will follow Adol's adventures with mainly self contained stories in the newer games.

My question is, will the new stories live up to the Ys chronicles, or are those games going into a very gameplay focused and generally dumb story direction? Not saying that the first games had a mind-blowing narrative but given the era they were made in they are pretty charming and unique. I also like the direction Origin took.
Just wanna prepare to be disappointed.

Thanks

ITT: RPGs you like except for that one thing that ruins it for you.

I played FF8 for the first time like two months ago, I could get past the junctioning, I actually think its cool how you can exploit and break it, I could get past drawing, I feel like Spoony's classic video on FF8 gave it a reputation that you sit and draw all battle when you don't, the best spells are from cards anyways, and I could get past Squall, the whole point is he improves as a person. But holy shit is that orphanage twist dumb. What makes it worse is it adds nothing that just having Squall grow up in the orphanage would add and doesn't really come up ever again.

Creator of Fallout TIM CAIN says complex RPGs are bad

>Mistake #1 - Steep Learning Curves: Tim thinks character creation in Fallout, Arcanum and other RPGs was too complex. He's experimenting with creating a completely numberless character system that uses geometric shapes to visualize attributes.
>Mistake #2 - Letting Math Trump Psychology: Revealing the influence of the years he spent developing Wildstar, Tim wants to develop mechanics that are psychologically satisfying and addictive, even at the expense of mathematical elegance. For example, he says the player's first attack against an enemy should always hit even if his overall hit percentage is the same regardless, and that rather than allow players to increase their critical hit chance, they should only be allowed to increase their critical hit damage.
>Mistake #3 - Conflating Player Skill With Character Skill: This one will be familiar if you've watched some of Josh Sawyer's talks. Aiming and hitting in an action-RPG should not be determined by character stats. On the other hand, things like the impact of recoil can be affected by stats, as well as the aforementioned critical hit damage.

Wow this game fucking sucks. I was a tastelet at 10 years old thinking this was really good back in the day cause I liked ryudo. The story is trash. The villains are trash. The other party members are trash. Ryudo stops being funny halfway through. The gameplay is over rated especially when you consider random encounters are mostly solved by a single aoe attack. The towns are boring. The dungeons are boring. The progression is barebones and forumulaic (town - > map - > dungeon with zero variation). Theirs no exploration. The music is trash.

Only nice things I have to say about it is I think the dreamcast graphics are quaint. And the customization is fun enough.

Be Honest

If you think about it honestly and objectively, looking at "pure" RPGs (no action involved = no aRPGs, whether it's hack and slash combat in Morrowind/Diablo 2 or shooting in Deus Ex), there is no excuse to leave Baldur's Gate 3 out of your top 10.

I would put it in the bottom five of it, right under Baldur's Gate 2. They have different strengths and weaknesses, but overall they are quite similar.

Hat World

I recently finished this game and wanted to talk about it. I thought the combo system was neat, and everyone sharing a single mana pool for casting adds a nice amount of depth to the combat. I also really like the way gems and OOParts allow for a wide variety of builds.

Square Enix Wants Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII to “Beat Skyrim”

https://gamingbolt.com/square-enix-wants-lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii-to-beat-skyrim

So did they succeed or not?

Octopath Traveler

Just finished the game.
I mostly ran H'aanit, Olberic, Tressa, and Ophilia. I liked how H'aanit and Tressa's combat roles changed over the the course of the game. Tressa changes from just being a BPslut to having the highest potential damage output of all the base jobs. I really liked H'aanit's mechanic of capturing monsters and attacking with them. It made exploring and fighting new trash mobs fun, and he also went from being the top damage dealer to being nearly useless depending on what she had on her and what you were up against. For most of the game she was my favorite, and at quarrycrest I wished I could swap her out. It tapered off into uselessness by act 4 though. First the late game monsters just have ridiculously low capture rates, at 1 hp and fully boosted they were at like 20%, at that point it's just frustrating, and once you've experimented with using them their charges are half spent. Secondly the top monsters are weaker compared to the top weapons and skills, this is fine. I like how her party role changes from boss fight damage dealer to utility, and I can't imagine beating any of the job bosses without leghold.
The mechanic where each character can interact with npcs a certain way was mostly just annoying, this was greatly exacerbated by some bosses not showing up until I fetch Cyrus, have him talk to a key NPC, and then put him back in the inn where he belongs.
Considering how simple they were the stories still managed to draw me in, the music probably helped a lot.

As soon as I heard he was the inquisitor for the Church of the Flame, I expected crap, but somehow his story is like top 3 from either game so far. Also have high hopes for Throne, but she just seems like a hybrid of Primrose and Theron so I’m not sure if she’ll beat either of their stories.

What classic JRPG has the best progression system?

General discussion about hypothetical computer and console RPGs.

I've seen some sad bans in my time but that last one was just sad. I know we're talking about computer programs that happen to be video games that happen to be RPGs, therefore everything is already programmed and ready to be presented to the player, therefore when talking about computer or console RPGs one is typically concerned with only talking about the RPG programs that are available, that already exist, as examples of discussion. However, that does not in itself preclude the usage of imagination to imagine hypothetical, and at this point, nonexistent games and discuss those games. Now, you could say that would be appropriate for another board, such as /b/ random, however, consider that RPGs, traditional RPGs, often make use of the imagination during gameplay, and that it should not be that many steps removed from using the imagination to imagine games that use the imagination vs discussing a game that is based on the imagination of the game designer and thus one can only discuss that pre-existing scenario. That is, we can talk about Fallout 1, as a game, or we can talk about, hypothetically, what if there were other games using the SPECIAL system, which may or may not be Fallout games. What if there were other computer RPGs based on other RPG systems and settings, such as Palladium, etc. Now, you could say "take that sort of discussion to the TG board" but what would they say. "Oh, we are not talking about computer programs here, perhaps there is another board for that." A board full of imagination. Such as /b/.
Disclaimer: This post is a discussion about the topic of computer and console RPGs in general, not referring to one specific game in particular.

Save for the "quirkyness", these are the kind of rpgs you want honestly.

Is this the peak of JRPG in terms of 2D spritework ?

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Fifth Ending

So, I want to start by saying I want to avoid the usual reddit autism around these factions.
I am appreciative of fallout and its contributions to the genre, but I'm also not an NMA boomer superfan, so keep that in mind.
I've come to realize there is another ending to New Vegas, one that (I am beginning to think) the devs intended but was never made popular.

This technically isn't an ending. There isn't a fancy slideshow, your game isn't ended, and you aren't told by your leadersenpai that you did a good job. But this ending may be much more satisfying, as well as the best for the people of the Mojave.

You don't play the kingmaker.

By choosing NOT to take a side (even ones own) and end the stalemate, even taking the side of the stalemate, the Courier is keeping Vegas in a state of uneasy, productive peace.
>Housefag perspective
The NCR provides free security to the dam, at the cost of some of the power and water, leaving House free to use his Securitrons to police the strip and eventually perhaps even expand into Freeside. By refusing to rout the NCR, the Courier also ensures Houses customer base remains largely unmolested, and the caps continue to flow. Any security lapses from withholding the platinum chip can be covered by hiring mercenaries or employing freesiders to build other, less advanced robots, like protections. By leaving the Legion intact, the Republic is too intimidated to attempt to annex Vegas, allowing House to focus on domestic security instead of an arms race.
>Legioncuck perspective
By keeping Vegas independent, Caesar will have access to constant caravans in neutral territory to raid or kidnap slaves from. In addition, by forcing California to build up forces along the Vegas border, the Legion can expand North without fear of the NCR coming at them full force. In addition, the Legion will have access (through seizure or espionage) to technology they ostensibly frown upon, but will use in times of need.

Rogue Galaxy got lost in the PS2 JRPG shuffle.

It's currently on sale at Xbox store.
Is it worth buying? It's one of those rare xbox360 exclusives that I've heard a lot about. I've never played jRPG's before and it looks less faggy than your average jRPG so I'm willing to give it a try if it's decent at least.

Fallout 4 worth playing for the mods?

I last played FO4 in 2017 and I thought it was shit but is it worth playing now for the modded content?

Why does everyone hate this game? The story isn't the best but the combat is really well done, the graphics are nice and the world is fun to explore.

Beat Wizardry 6 tonight and just started 7. This is becoming my favorite RPG series. The race/class combinations are a lot of fun and I love when fantasy settings include aliens and sci-fi shit in them.

>Oh, you just killed 20 police officers and their dogs, not to mention 3 noblemen, impressive, I suppose we WON'T burn the village to the ground even though we are very racist.
>What's that, a grey warden is taking him, ahh oh well.
>Also did you know that you could mix brandy with rat poison and if you took off your armor and weapons (despite being in a dungeon full of hostiles) and went through a certain door your could convince the off duty guards that you were servants and serve them poison drinks?

What were they thinking?
